(Bottle, 0.33 l, at tiong’s tasting, 20160109, thanks FatPhil) The beer poured deep amber and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had caramell and grass. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were sweetness, grass, cardboard, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet and bitter. A weak IPA-

330ml bottle

Pours dark reddish orange with a tiny head. Aroma of caramely malts, berries and toffee. Taste is sweet, earthy and grainy with hints of caramel, berries and toffee. Finish is caramel, toffee and grainy earthiness, hints of berries. Decent but a bit grainy and musty.

Bottle, BB 2016.03.14 (from Drink Shop, Tallinn). Pours copper with beige head. The head stays for a moment. Aroma is sweet, burnt sugar, diacetyl, fruits. Flavor is bitter, sweet, burnt sugar, caramel, grass, malt, diacetyl. Finish is harsh grass-dry bitter. Overall: not enjoyable at all. "Making s*it just bitter" doesn’t make a good ipa nor a good beer. Well, that’s 3+ euros down the drain...

Small offwhite head. Hazy coppery body with small floaties. Fruity earthy resiny aroma with roasty spicy citric notes. Sweetish fruity earthy wooden taste with perfumy cinnamon notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, mealy mouthfeel. Dryish resiny earthy fruity aftertaste with oily citric wooden notes. Odd. Seems a bit old, with yeast issues. (0.33l bottle, from Alaus Celle, Riga, Latvia.)

33cl bottle from Alus Celle, Riga. Pours dark amber with a medium, off-white head. Surprisingly malty with notes of caramel and fruit and not so much hoppy as expected. Had a small sample from tap at the shop and that seemed fresher. Some citrus and hints of pine. Medium sweet with fairly balanced bitterness. Tasty and enjoyable, but a bit more caramel and malt than I prefer.b
